MONTEREY, October 16th.-Last night, a.
an actor was working on the trapeze in the
La Porte Hall, before large audience, the
scaffolding suddenly gave way, coming
down upon that part of the audience which
was directly under and around the scaffold.
In its descent beam struck large chan
delier, breaking it all to pieces and setting
the hall on fire. and the kerosene lamps
exploded on the floor Everything was
tumult and excitement. Everybody rushed
for the only opening, and had it not been
for the urgent words OF a cool-headed
person, undoubtedly many would have
been seriously hurt.
In the meantime the fire was spreading,
and but for the free use of coats to extin-
guish the flames the building would have
soon been in ashes. Had this beel the
| case, the probabilities are that all of Mon

stands in the midst of the business portion
Of the town, which is composed of frame
buildings. Some women tainted, and
| others received bruises, but luckily the
actor remained unhurt

There was hard fight between the police
and some Italians in the low Italian Eley-
enth street last night. Chairs and tables
were knocked over and things damaged in
the melee. The policemen defended them
selves with their clubs.
Several of the Italians brandished knives,
and one of them welded piece of gaspipe
four feet long and an inch and half thick.
The Italian with the gaspipe got near
officer Bowden and tried to smash his head
with the weapon, but Bowden caught the
blow upon his right arm. The arm was
broken.
Another Italian stabbed policeman Drew
in the back. Matters were becoming very
serious, when roundsman Price rushed in
with policemen Gehan and Cleary and the
Italians were finally laid out. A dozen
arrests were made. Several had wounds
dressed.

SPARKS REPORT.
The Land Commissioner Reviews the
Frauds Practiced on This Coast

WASHINGTON, October 16th-In his an
nual report, filed on Friday, Commissioner
Sparks, OF the General Land Office, re-
hearses the history of the gigantic land
frauds on the Pacific coast, as developed
from time to time before the Federal Grand
Juries. These embrace the surveying
frauds, for which large number of persons
are now under indictment, or rather against
whom new indictments will probably soon
be fCund-the timber land frauds of Hum
boldt county, through which six and half
million dollars worth of timber was secured
by Scotch syndicate, and the frauds con-
nected with some of the Spanish or Mexi-
can grants. 1t is shown that in some in
stances these grants have been so SURVEYED
as 10 double the number of acres originally
intended to be conveyed. While the report
is of sensational character throughout.
the facts contained have nearly all been
turned up to the light of day in the last
few years, and are already familiar to the
Pacific coast people.
